Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process overseen by QE Facilities Limited concluded with the awarding of a contract titled "Neptune and Diathermy Surgical Waste Management Systems" in the healthcare industry category. Aimed at renewing agreements for Stryker Neptune Fluid waste management and SafeAir Compact smoke evacuation systems, this procurement took place in Gateshead, England. The process reached the award stage with the contract having been signed between the dates 1st October 2025 and 30th September 2030. Through a selective procurement method, specifically by calling off from a framework agreement, the associated tender was valued at £936,375 and was decided upon by 22nd September 2025.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in the manufacturing or supply of medical equipment, particularly those specialising in surgical waste management systems. Large-scale suppliers like Stryker UK Ltd, which was awarded the contract, are well-positioned to benefit given the contract's long duration and significant value. While the procurement method involved a call-off from a framework agreement, businesses able to qualify onto such frameworks can benefit from similar opportunities, ensuring a steady flow of work within the health sector over an extended period. Companies seeking to expand their reach within the healthcare equipment supply chain would find participating in similar procurements advantageous. However, the framework stipulations indicate that smaller enterprises and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) were not prioritised for this particular tender.
